1) When models don't link you to the pictures that you have shot for them... for free.

2) When a dialog between a model and photographer goes on and on (1 month at least) and you still never shoot or if you do shoot she acts like she can't remember what you talked about shooting.

3) When you share ideas with a model (especially for her shoot) and she never shoots with you, but shoots the idea(s) with another photographer.

4) When a model claims that she can't drive an hour or two down the road (for a TFCD shoot) because of gas prices, but they can buy plane tickets, room and board, and pay whoever is shooting them in another state (at least 3 + states away)

Welcome to MM, if it gets your blood pressure up, best move on. Just the way things are here.

I am soooo rotten about not linking photos. Not because I don;t want to, but I get lazy. I resolve to be better about this in the future.

When a photog gives you a CD of raw images (thereby "fulfilling" his part of the deal) not for posting and moooooonths later the model still does not get a single edited image she can use. sad

When escorts back out last minute.

I know that has nothing to do with the relationship between the photog and the model, but it irks me.
Make sure you have a reliable escort!

lol Models who use ideas with other photogs! Ive been very aware of this happening and keep my stuff tooooop secret. I dont share my "sevret" locations with new girls either; they have to shoot with me several times before they learn where the cuts are
i try to stick with my loyal crew and new girls have to earn their way in : )
Add models who do 1 shoot and then think they should be paid now and models who can only escort with their Husbands and BFs
